Watch this lovable elephant paint a self-portrait for mesmerized onlookers

The Elephant Conservation Center in the Lampang Province of Northern Thailand is one of the main attractions in all of Southeast Asia. Its purpose is to preserve the depleting Thai elephant population and house them in a safe, loving environment. There, the elephants are trained from birth to carry out forest work, such as carrying lumber, but in order to ensure that the tourism industry in Thailand remains abuzz, the trainers also teach elephants to paint pictures for tourists. Here, see one of the many paintings done each day at the center. You'll be amazed!
